- Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive, easy to use, inexpensive procedure for measuring the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood. Pulse oximeters perform a spectral analysis of the pulsatile component of arterial blood in order to determine the relative concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin, the major oxygen carrying constituent of blood. By providing early detection of decreases in the arterial oxygen supply, pulse oximetry reduces the risk of accidental death and injury. As a result, pulse oximeters have gained rapid acceptance in a wide variety of medical applications, including surgical wards, intensive care units, general wards and home care.

Abstract
Description
- The present application claims priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/428,419, filed Nov. 22, 2002 entitled “Blood Parameter Measurement System,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive, easy to use, inexpensive procedure for measuring the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood. Pulse oximeters perform a spectral analysis of the pulsatile component of arterial blood in order to determine the relative concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin, the major oxygen carrying constituent of blood. By providing early detection of decreases in the arterial oxygen supply, pulse oximetry reduces the risk of accidental death and injury. As a result, pulse oximeters have gained rapid acceptance in a wide variety of medical applications, including surgical wards, intensive care units, general wards and home care.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a
pulse oximetry system 100 having asensor 110 and amonitor 140. Thesensor 110 hasemitters 120 and adetector 130 and is attached to a patient at a selected tissue site, such as a fingertip or ear lobe. The emitters 120 project light through the blood vessels and capillaries of the tissue site. Thedetector 130 is positioned so as to detect the emitted light as it emerges from the tissue site. A pulse oximetry sensor is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,088,607 entitled “Low Noise Optical Probe,” which is assigned to Masimo Corporation, Irvine, Calif. and incorporated by reference herein. - Also shown in FIG. 1, the
monitor 140 hasdrivers 150, acontroller 160, a front-end 170, asignal processor 180, adisplay 190. Thedrivers 150 alternately activate theemitters 120 as determined by thecontroller 160. The front-end 170 conditions and digitizes the resulting current generated by thedetector 130, which is proportional to the intensity of the detected light. Thesignal processor 180 inputs the conditioned detector signal and determines oxygen saturation, as described below, along with pulse rate. Thedisplay 190 provides a numerical readout of a patient's oxygen saturation and pulse rate. A pulse oximetry monitor is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,036 entitled “Signal Processing Apparatus and Method,” which is assigned to Masimo Corporation, Irvine, Calif. and incorporated by reference herein. - FIGS.2A-C illustrate various circuits 201-205 for a
pulse oximetry sensor 110. Atypical sensor 110 hasemitters 120 including both red andinfrared LEDs detector 130 consisting of aphotodiode 230.LED pinouts 250 connect theLEDs Detector pinouts 260 connect thephotodiode 230 to the front-end 170 (FIG. 1) also via the patient cable. FIG. 2A illustrates a back-to-back sensor circuit 201, where theLEDs LED 210 is connected to the cathode of theother LED 220 and vice-a-versa. Thesensor circuit 201 may have aninformation element 240, such as a resistor. Theinformation element 240 has multiple uses depending on the manufacturer, such as an indicator sensor type. An information element is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,758,644 entitled “Manual and Automatic Probe Calibration,” which is assigned to Masimo Corporation, Irvine, Calif. and incorporated by reference herein. FIGS. 2B-C illustrate alternative sensor circuits. FIG. 2B illustrates a commonanode sensor circuit 203 havingLEDs pinouts 250. FIG. 2C illustrates a commoncathode sensor circuit 205 havingLEDs pinouts 250. - FIGS.3A-C illustrate drive signal timing corresponding to the sensor circuits described with respect to FIGS. 2A-C, above. FIG. 3A is a timing diagram 300 of the drive signal 152 (FIG. 1) illustrating the relative occurrence and duration of control waveforms transmitted from the drivers 150 (FIG. 1) to the emitters 120 (FIG. 1). A typical drive signal 152 (FIG. 1) has a red LED enable
period 310, an IR LED enableperiod 330 and adark period 320 between the enableperiods time period LED emitters 210, 220 (FIGS. 2A-C), causing the selected LED to turn on and emit optical energy at a particular wavelength (red or IR), which is transmitted into a tissue site. During adark period 320, no drive current is supplied to theLEDs 210, 220 (FIGS. 2A-C), turning both off. Red LED enableperiods 310 are alternated with IR LED enableperiods 330 so that concurrent tissue site responses at both red and IR wavelengths can be measured. The timing diagram 300 illustrates a typical 25% “on” duty cycle for a particular LED. Thedark periods 320 allow the signal processor 180 (FIG. 1) to demodulate or separate the red wavelength response from the IR wavelength response. Detector signal demodulation is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,919,134 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Demodulating Signals in a Pulse Oximetry System,” which is assigned to Masimo Corporation, Irvine, Calif. and incorporated by reference herein. - FIG. 3B is a
graph 302 of drive current versus time for a back-to-back sensor circuit 201 (FIG. 2A), corresponding to the timing diagram 300 (FIG. 3A), described above. During the red LED enable periods 310 (FIG. 3A), the drive signal 152 (FIG. 1) has a first polarity drive current 312 of a first amplitude, so that the red LED emits at a predetermined intensity. During the IR LED enable time periods 330 (FIG. 3A), the drive signal 152 (FIG. 1) has an second, oppositepolarity drive current 332 of a second amplitude, so that the IR LED emits at a predetermined intensity. During the dark periods 320 (FIG. 3A) the drive signal 152 (FIG. 1) has nodrive current 322. In this manner, the timing and intensity of the red and IR LED emissions may be independently controlled with a single drive signal 152 (FIG. 1) having bipolar drive current communicated over a single pair of conductors connected to the LED pinouts 250 (FIG. 2A). - FIG. 3C are two
graphs - The Beer-Lambert law provides a simple model that describes a tissue site response to pulse oximetry measurements. The Beer-Lambert law states that the concentration ci of an absorbent in solution can be determined by the intensity of light transmitted through the solution, knowing the pathlength dλ, the intensity of the incident light I0,λ and the extinction coefficient εi,λ at a particular wavelength λ. In generalized form, the Beer-Lambert law is expressed as:
- where μa,λ is the bulk absorption coefficient and represents the probability of absorption per unit length. The minimum number of discrete wavelengths that are required to solve EQS. 1-2 are the number of significant absorbers that are present in the solution. For pulse oximetry, wavelengths are chosen such that, normally, there are only two significant absorbers. These are oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb). Thus, pulse oximetry measurements are conventionally made at two wavelengths including a red wavelength, such as 660 nm, and an infrared wavelength, such as 940 nm.
- There is a need to provide a noninvasive, easy to use, inexpensive procedure to measure multiple blood parameters, other than, or in addition to, HbO2 and Hb. For example, hemoglobin species that are also significant under certain circumstances are carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) and methemoglobin (MetHb). Other blood parameters that may be measured to provide important clinical information are blood glucose and total hematocrit (Hct), to name a few. An advantageous solution is to provide a software upgrade for conventional pulse oximetry so as to achieve multiple-wavelength capability, that is, the ability to measure tissue site response to optical radiation of three or more wavelengths. Such a software upgrade can be readily applied to current pulse oximetry system designs and to the widespread installed base of pulse oximeters and multiparameter patient monitors to increase measurement capabilities to include a range of important blood parameters in addition to, or instead of, oxygen saturation.
- One aspect of a blood parameter measurement system is a monitor configured to provide an oxygen saturation measurement based upon the absorption of two wavelengths of optical radiation by a tissue site. A software upgrade is installable in the monitor so as to enable the monitor to operate in conjunction with a multiple wavelength sensor. A wavelength controller is adapted to the upgrade so as to drive the sensor.
- Another aspect of a blood parameter measurement system is a multiplicity of emitters configured to transmit at least three distinct wavelengths of optical radiation into a tissue site. At least one detector is configured to receive the radiation after attenuation by the tissue site and to generate a corresponding detector signal output. A wavelength controller has a drive signal input and a sensor control output and is adapted to sequentially enable the emitters.
- A further aspect of a blood parameter measurement system is a method having the steps of communicating a drive signal from a monitor to a sensor and synchronizing the sensor with the monitor. Additional steps include sequentially enabling a plurality of emitters of the sensor and communicating a sensor signal from the sensor to the monitor.
- An additional aspect of a blood parameter measurement system is a multiple wavelength sensor means for illuminating a tissue site with at least three wavelengths and detecting a corresponding tissue site response. The system includes a software upgrade means for enabling a pulse oximetry monitor to drive the sensor and process a corresponding sensor signal. The system also includes a wavelength controller means for interfacing between the software upgrade means and the multiple wavelength sensor means.

- FIG. 4 illustrates a blood
parameter measurement system 400 having apulse oximetry monitor 500 and ablood parameter upgrade 410. Themonitor 500 may be any pulse oximeter configured to calculate and output oxygen saturation measurements utilizing a red and IR wavelength sensor attached to a tissue site, such as described with respect to FIGS. 1-3, above. Advantageously, themonitor 500 is enabled to measure blood parameters in addition to or in lieu of oxygen saturation by ablood parameter upgrade 410 to the monitor software, without the necessity of a monitor hardware modification. In particular, theupgrade 410 enables themonitor 500 to drive a multiple wavelength sensor and to process the corresponding sensor output. - As shown in FIG. 4, the blood
parameter measurement system 400 also has an adaptivemultiple wavelength sensor 610 or anadapter cable 650 as alternative sensor port connections to the upgradedmonitor 500. Theadaptive sensor 610 is plug compatible with the monitor and functionally compatible with the blood parameter upgrade so as to provide multiple wavelength capability to themeasurement system 400. Theadapter cable 650 is also plug compatible with the monitor and functionally compatible with the blood parameter upgrade, but is configured to interface to an otherwise monitor incompatible multiple wavelength sensor. Theblood parameter upgrade 410 is described in further detail with respect to FIG. 5, below. Theadaptive sensor 610 and theadapter cable 650 are described in further detail with respect to FIGS. 6A-C, below. - FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment of an upgraded
pulse oximetry monitor 500. Themonitor 500 hasdrivers 510, a sensor front-end 520, asignal processor 530, adisplay 540 and asampling controller 550, all configured for a conventional pulse oximetry sensor 110 (FIG. 1). In particular, adrive signal 512 is physically and electrically configured to drive a red and an IR sensor emitter 120 (FIG. 1), and the sensor front-end 520 is physically and electrically configured to receive asensor signal 522 from a detector 130 (FIG. 1). - As shown in FIG. 5, the
monitor 500 has software that is upgraded to drive and process signals from amultiple wavelength sensor 610, 660 (FIG. 4) either directly or through an adapter cable 650 (FIG. 4). In one embodiment, asampling software modification 560 enables thesampling controller 550 to encode thedrive signal 512 to provide multiple wavelength control, as described below. A signalprocessing software modification 570 enables thesignal processor 530 to demodulate a multiplewavelength detector signal 522 and to derive blood parameters from a tissue site accordingly. Thesampling software modification 560 is described in detail with respect to FIGS. 6-11, below. In one embodiment, the signalprocessing software modification 570 implements a multiple wavelength demodulation function, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,229,856 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Demodulating Signals in a Pulse Oximetry System,” assigned to Masimo Corporation, Irvine, Calif. and incorporated by reference herein. - FIGS.6A-C illustrate various embodiments of a blood
parameter measurement system 400 utilizing an upgradedpulse oximetry monitor 500. FIG. 6A illustrates amonitor 500 connected to an adaptivemultiple wavelength sensor 610. Thesensor 610 hasemitters 620, at least onedetector 630 and awavelength controller 700. Theemitters 620 are capable of illuminating a tissue site with multiple wavelengths. Thedetector 630 receives multiple wavelengths after transmission through or reflection from the tissue site and provides a corresponding modulatedsensor signal output 522. Thewavelength controller 700 advantageously interfaces to aconventional driver 510 configured to provide adrive signal output 512 to red andIR LEDs 210, 220 (FIGS. 2A-C), as described above. Thedriver 510 generates an encodeddrive signal 512 according to the sampling software modification 560 (FIG. 5), described above. Thewavelength controller 700 decodes thedrive signal 512 and enables theemitters 620 accordingly, as described in further detail with respect to FIGS. 7-11, below. - FIG. 6B illustrates a
monitor 500 connected to anadapter cable 650. Advantageously, theadapter cable 650 functions as an interface between an upgradedmonitor 500 and an otherwise incompatiblemultiple wavelength sensor 660. Theadapter cable 650 has awavelength controller 700 that functions in a manner similar to that described with respect to FIG. 6A, above. In particular, thewavelength controller 700 decodes thedrive signal 512 and provides corresponding multiple emitter drive signals 652 to thesensor emitters 660. - FIG. 6C illustrates a
monitor 500 connected to an adaptivemultiple wavelength sensor 610 incorporating amultiple emitter component 690. In one embodiment, theemitter component 690 hasmultiple emitters 620 and awavelength controller 700 mounted on an encapsulated carrier. Advantageously, theemitter component 690 may be configured to substitute for or replace a dual LED component within a conventional pulse oximeter sensor so as to convert a pulse oximeter sensor into an adaptive multiple wavelength sensor without the tooling and manufacturing overhead of a unique sensor assembly. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, thewavelength controller 700 is configured such that the adaptivemultiple wavelength sensor 610 is backward compatible with monitors that do not have theblood parameter upgrade 410. For example, if thewavelength controller 700 is unable to detect an upgrade encoded pattern in thedrive signal 512, thewavelength controller 700 defaults to routing thedrive signal 512 to a pair of LEDs having conventional wavelengths and a conventional configuration, as described with respect to FIGS. 2A-C, above. In this manner, a common sensor could be used for either conventional two wavelength pulse oximetry or for expanded multiple wavelength blood parameter measurement capability. - The
sensors multiple detectors 630 that are enabled by thewavelength controller 700 in conjunction with particular emitters or groups ofemitters 620. In this manner, the effective detector bandwidth may be advantageously increased to accommodate the emitter wavelengths. Multiple detector sensor circuits are described with respect to FIGS. 10A-B, below. - FIG. 7 illustrates a
wavelength controller 700 having adrive signal input 701, apower supply 710, async detector 720, asensor control 730 andsensor control output 702. Thedrive signal input 701 is configured to receive the monitor drive signal 512 (FIG. 5). Thepower supply 710supplies DC power 712 to the remainder of thewavelength controller 700 and may derive power from any number of input sources, such as a battery, an external AC orDC supply 705, or thedrive signal input 701. Thesync detector 720 decodes thedrive signal input 701 to determine the occurrence of a sync pattern in the drive signal waveform and provides async output 722 that indicates a sync event to thesensor control 730 accordingly. A sync pattern may be encoded as a unique pulse pattern on the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) by the sampling software modification 560 (FIG. 5). Thesensor control 730 utilizes thesync output 722 to synchronize emitter selection with the upgrade software 410 (FIG. 4), so that the upgrade software 410 (FIG. 4) can properly identify and process detector response at each wavelength, as described below. Thesensor control 730 is responsive to drive current pulses on thedrive signal input 701 so as to sequentially select particular sensor emitters 620 (FIGS. 6A-C). Thesensor control output 702 routes the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) from thedrive signal input 701 to the selected emitters 620 (FIGS. 6A-C). - As shown in FIG. 7, the
wavelength controller 700 may also have acommand decoder 740 and atransmitter 750. Thecommand decoder 740 determines the occurrence of a command pattern in the drive signal waveform and provides acommand output sensor control 730 and/or thetransmitter 744 in response. Commands may be encoded as one or more unique pulse patterns on the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) by the sampling software modification 560 (FIG. 5). A command, for example, may program thesensor control 730 for a particular emitter enabling sequence or instruct thetransmitter 750 to send. Thetransmitter 750 is configured to send sensor status or other sensor information to the monitor 500 (FIG. 5) when the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) is off. To receive such information, the monitor 500 (FIG. 5) would have a corresponding receiver (not shown) sharing the drive conductors as inputs. - FIG. 8A illustrates one
wavelength controller 700 embodiment having adrive signal input 701, an AC-DC converter 710, async detector 720, anoutput multiplexer 740 and sensor control outputs 702. A drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) is provided on thedrive control input 701, as described with respect to FIG. 7, above. Thedrive signal input 701 may have, for example, two conductors to accommodate a bipolar drive signal, such as described with respect to FIG. 3B, above, or it may have an additionalcommon conductor 803 to accommodate two unipolar drive signals, such as described with respect to FIG. 3C, above. Theconverter 710 pulls some current from thedrive signal input 701 so as to provideDC power 712 to the controller electronics. Thesync detector 720 decodes thedrive signal input 701 and provides async output 722, as described with respect to FIG. 7, above Theoutput multiplexer 730 routes thedrive signal input 701 to a selected pair of sensor control outputs 702. Each pair ofsensor control outputs 702 is in communication with a pair of emitters 620 (FIGS. 6A-C), such as described with respect to FIGS. 9A-B, below. - In operation, the
sync output 722 initializes theoutput multiplexer 740 so that a first pair ofsensor control outputs 702 is selected, which selects a predetermined pair of emitters 620 (FIGS. 6A-C). Individual ones of a selected emitter pair are then enabled according to the drive current waveform, as described with respect to FIGS. 3A-C, above. The drive current waveform on thedrive signal input 701 also causes theoutput multiplexer 740 to enable other pairs ofdrive outputs 702, selecting other emitter pairs in a predetermined sequence. - FIG. 8B illustrates a
wavelength control element 800 that functions in combination with switches 1010 (FIGS. 10A-B) as a wavelength controller 700 (FIG. 7) embodiment, as described above. Thewavelength control element 800 has aninput 701, an AC-DC converter 710 and a sync detector 930 that function as described with respect to FIG. 8A, above. Thewavelength control element 800 also has aswitch control 830 that functions in combination with switches 1010 (FIGS. 10A-B) to route thedrive signal input 701 to selected pairs of emitters 620 (FIGS. 6A-C), such as described with respect to FIGS. 10A-B, below. In particular, eachswitch control output 805 actuates one or more switches to connect or disconnect a selected emitter pair to the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5). - In operation, the
sync output 722 initializes theswitch control 830 so that a firstswitch control output 805 is selected, which actuates a switch or switches that connect a predetermined pair of emitters 620 (FIGS. 6A-C) to the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5). Individual ones of a selected emitter pair are then enabled according to the drive current waveform, as described with respect to FIGS. 3A-C, above. The drive current waveform on thedrive signal input 701 also causes the switch control 0.830 to enable otherswitch control outputs 805, selecting other emitter pairs in a predetermined sequence. - FIGS.9A-B illustrate back-to-back LED and common anode LED embodiments of a
sensor circuit LEDs 620, aphotodiode 630 and awavelength controller 700. Thedrive signal inputs 701 connect to the drivers 510 (FIG. 5) so as to receive a drive signal 512 (FIG. 5).Photodiode pinouts 901 connect to the sensor front-end 520 (FIG. 5) so as to provide a detector signal 522 (FIG. 5). Thewavelength controller 700 selects a pair ofLEDs 620 in response to the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) on thedrive signal input 701, communicating the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) to the selectedLEDs 620. These elements may be incorporated into an adaptive sensor 610 (FIGS. 6A, C) or in a combination adapter cable 650 (FIG. 6B) and multiple wavelength sensor 660 (FIG. 6B). With respect to FIG. 9A, a bipolar drive current, having characteristics similar to those described with respect to FIG. 3B, above, enables individual LEDs of a selected back-to-back LED pair. With respect to FIG. 9B, a pair of unipolar drive currents, having characteristics similar to those described with respect to FIG. 3C, above, enables individual LEDs of a selected common anode LED pair. A similar sensor circuit would accommodate common cathode LEDs. The sequence and timing of LED selection is described in detail with respect to FIGS. 101A-B, below. - FIGS.100A-B illustrate back-to-back LED and common anode LED embodiments of a
sensor circuit LEDs 620,photodiodes 630 and awavelength control element 800. Adrive signal input 701 connects to the drivers 510 (FIG. 5) so as to receive a drive signal 512 (FIG. 5).Photodiode pinouts 1001 connect to the sensor front-end 520 (FIG. 5) so as to provide a detector signal 522 (FIG. 5). Thewavelength control element 800 selects a pair ofLEDs 620 in response to the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5) on thedrive signal input 701. Each LED pair is selectable by theswitches 1010, which either connect an LED pair to thedrive signal input 701 or isolate an LED pair from thedrive signal input 701. In a multiple photodiode embodiment, thewavelength control element 800 also selects acorresponding photodiode 630. Eachphotodiode 630 is selectable by theswitches 1010, which either connect it to, or isolate it from, thephotodiode pinouts 1001.Multiple photodiodes 630 advantageously allow optical radiation detection over a broader range of wavelengths than practical from a single photodiode, due to the bandwidth limitations of such components. Theswitches 1010 are actuated so as to select aphotodiode 630 having an operating range that corresponds to the wavelength of the selectedLEDs 620. - These elements may be incorporated into an adaptive sensor610 (FIGS. 6A, C) or in a combination adapter cable 650 (FIG. 6B) and multiple wavelength sensor 660 (FIG. 6B). With respect to FIG. 10A, a bipolar drive current, having characteristics similar to those described with respect to FIG. 3B, above, enables individual LEDs of a selected back-to-back pair. With respect to FIG. 10B, a pair of unipolar drive currents, having characteristics similar to those described with respect to FIG. 3C, above, enables individual LEDs of a selected common anode pair. A similar sensor circuit would accommodate common cathode LEDs. The
switches 1010 may be electromechanical or electronic devices, such as field-effect transistors (FETs). The sequence and timing of LED selection is described in detail with respect to FIGS. 11A-B, below. - FIGS.11A-B illustrate multiple wavelength control timing, as generated by a sampling controller 550 (FIG. 5), according to a sampling software upgrade 560 (FIG. 5). As shown in FIG. 11A, the
control timing 1100 includes aheader interval 1110 and anemitter drive interval 1130. Theheader 1110 may include one or more of sync, command, transmission and idle time periods. During a sync time period, an encoded drive waveform is generated for the sync detector 720 (FIG. 7), as described above. During a command time period, an encoded drive waveform is generated for the command decoder 740 (FIG. 7), as described above. During the transmission time period, the drivers 510 (FIG. 5) have a high impedance output, for example, so that the transmitter 750 (FIG. 7) may send on the same conductors as the drive signal 512 (FIG. 5), as described above. Thedrive interval 1130 may include multiple drive current pulses and interleaved dark periods, as described with respect to FIGS. 3A-C, above. - As shown in FIG. 11B, one embodiment of the
control timing 1100 includes async period 1111 and anidle period 1112 in theheader interval 1110 and a sequence of LED enable periods 1131-1135 interleaved withdark periods 1134 during theemitter drive interval 1130. During thesync period 1110 the sampling controller 550 (FIG. 5) and signal processor 530 (FIG. 5) in the monitor are synchronized with the wavelength controller in the sensor. In this manner, the signal processor can determine which wavelength response corresponds to the detector signal 522 (FIG. 5) at any particular time. During the LED enable periods 1131-1135, the drivers 510 (FIG. 5) generate drive current that is routed by the wavelength controller to the LEDs in a predetermined sequence, as described with respect to FIGS. 7-10, above. - The LED enable
